ITINERARY:

LEEDS CASTLEAfter an initial fast-track out from London, our first stop is at Leeds Castle, an idyllic Arthurian Camelot dating back to the 11th century and often cited as the most beautiful castle in England.
A number of queens have used it as a private retreat.
Henry VIII commissioned many building works for his first wife Katherine of Aragon and then used it to 'entertain' his new love Anne Boleyn.
In the early 20th century it was bought by an heiress who hosted a number of celebrity parties here in the 1930s. The grounds alone are breathtaking.
● Usually open daily.
● Admission payable on entry.
● Your guide will conduct the tour.

SISSINGHURST GARDENS
Next, after a pleasant drive through the Kent countryside, we make the short hop to Sissinghurst, a six-acre site described by some as the epitome of the English country garden, and according to many the most inspirational garden in the land.
Brought in the 1930s by the controversial aristocratic writer Vita Sackville-West and her politician husband Harold Nicholson, it was turned into a designer playground, with ten garden rooms and an architectural layout.
Also contains the largest herb garden in England. Timed entry tickets demonstrate its popularity with passionate gardeners.
● Usually open daily.
● Admission payable on entry.
● Your guide will conduct the tour.
